The post is long, well thought out, and has links to several other sites including the National Shooting Sports Foundation.Sorry kids, uncle Bloomie and aunt Shannon forgot about you...
About one year ago Mike Bloomberg's organizations Everytown for Gun Safety and Mom's Demand Action launched, with some hoopla, a campaign to reduce unintentional child shootings BESMARTFORKIDS. http://momsdemandaction.org/in-the-news ... shootings/
They released a video featuring Melissa Joan Heart, provided info-graphics about unintentional shootings involving children, a quiz to test you and a promise to give away gun locks so people could secure their firearms. They ended the week of launch with the 3rd annual march across the Brooklyn Bridge
So here we are, a year later and what has happened? Well, nothing.
Supposedly the MDA was going to give out free gun locks.
.........
Not a single lock has been given out or apparently even procured.
The 4th annual Brooklyn Bridge march completed and notable by its absence was any mention of BESMARTFORKIDS. No follow up as to how the campaign has saved lives, no celebrity announcements of support,nothing. Actually the BESMARTFORKIDS campaign is not even listed of the MDA's campaign page http://momsdemandaction.org/moms-demand ... campaigns/ .
By comparison, the National Shooting Sports Foundation continued their lock give away program http://www.projectchildsafe.org/, distributing over 300,000 locks in 2015. They also received a $2.4 million grant for the Department of Justice to go toward supporting firearm safety education by providing gun locks and safety materials to communities throughout the country in an effort to help reduce firearms misuse.
Oh, and they did not help get any Republicans elected to office.
